Summary
Bruce Wayne reacted badly to Jason’s death, they could all see, and it was perfectly understandable. But this couldn’t go on, a message that Dick and Alfred just barely manage to get across to him. So now, at least for a few months, Batman is retired until Bruce can properly mourn his lost son.
Tim Drake, now lacking his usual subject of interest on his nightly stalkings, turns his attention to the mysterious Red Hood who recently popped up in Crime Alley. However, he wasn’t expecting what he found instead: A brother.

Summary
Tim gets de-aged, and tells absolutely no one.
He also, in no particular order, gets therapy, does a lot of crime, channels his inner cyberbully, steals another Batmobile, moves to Metropolis (temporarily), causes an Arkham breakout, gets kidnapped, kidnaps someone else, and accidentally becomes a supervillain somewhere along the way.
Parental supervision is for losers.
